Precious Metals: Awe only uses 925 Sterling Silver and 14K Gold Vermeil, a thick layer of solid, 14K Yellow Gold bonded to solid Sterling Silver.

Awe Inspired jewelry is crafted from solid 14K Gold, 925 Sterling Silver, or 14K Gold Vermeil (a state-of-the-art electroplating process that bonds a thick layer of 14k gold to sterling silver for lasting brilliance). Each piece is hand-polished and electro-coated with an anti-tarnish finish for longevity. We use only hypoallergenic, nickel-free precious metals (never brass or other base metals). All gemstones are authentic, ethically sourced, and hand-selected for each piece.

To keep your piece inspiring awe for years to come, wear it regularly and gently clean as needed with the Awe anti-tarnish polishing cloth included in your order. Avoid allowing harsh cleansers, saltwater, and chemicals to come into contact with your jewelry. Store in the Awe pouch, or in another clean, dry container when not in use.

We offer a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase and will replace your piece if any material or workmanship issues arise.

Material Guide

Material Guide
  • 14K Solid Gold:

    Awe Inspired 14K solid gold is crafted for longevity and everyday wear. Made from pure 14K yellow or white gold, each piece offers rich color, durability, and natural resistance to tarnish. Designed to maintain its integrity over time, 14K solid gold is ideal for fine jewelry intended to be worn often, passed down, and kept for generations.

  • 14K Yellow Gold Vermeil

    Awe Vermeil has been perfected for superior durability with an innovative oxygen bathing technique that improves gold adherence 3x over standard electroplating. In this process, we coat a 925 sterling silver base with 3 full microns of our signature 14k yellow gold and place the piece in a 100% pure oxygen chamber to remove any moisture and prevent tarnishing between layers. The 2 microns used by other vermeil jewelers is not enough for our standards.

  • 925 Sterling Silver

    925 sterling silver free of allergenic metals like nickel and coated in rhodium for superior luster and durability. Our 925 sterling silver is always free of allergenic metals like nickel. To ensure superior luster and durability, it's coated in rhodium - a metallic element resistant to corrosion.

  • 2 Toned or Mixed Metals

    Two toned describes a piece or set with mixed metals: Awe quality 14k yellow gold vermeil and solid 925 sterling silver. 

Chain Length Guide

Goddess Circle Membership
  • 16” - 18”

    For most customers, the 16”-18” chain will allow pendants to sit right below your collarbone. This is the most popular length for wearing pendants on their own.

  • 20” - 22”

    For most customers, the 20”-22” chain will allow pendants to sit middle to low on your chest. This is the perfect length chain for layering with other necklaces. 

About Jump Rings for Adjustability:

Many of our chains are designed with jump rings so you can easily clasp the necklace at different 2-inch increments (16” and 18”, or 20” and 22”).

Goddess Circle Membership

2-Year Inspired Warranty

We offer a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase and will repair or replace your piece if any material or workmanship issues arise.

Repairs needed after 730 days or deemed to be caused by misuse will incur a repair charge at the customer’s expense. Repairs will be assessed on an individual basis.

    Medusa Necklace

    I have been wearing this necklace everyday.

    The Medusa design really exudes strength.

    I love it. Added a flying dagger and it’s perfect.
